Almost Home

[Ninurta]

That hit home. 

Great story. Very sad. 
Whats Even more sad is that, I can relate. 

Thanks for sharing this.

That relatability to Everyman is one of the elements that makes it a great story. I can relate to elements of it as well - I was thoroughly broken, and had to go through 4 wives before I found the one that was "home" and healing.

Actually, I can relate to more than that even - during that time of searching, I lived in a car for a year (until I graduated to "couch surfing" at friends houses), and at other times was so broke down that I had no car even, and had to dig cardboard out of dumpsters in order to lay it in the snow behind the dumpsters so I had a surface to sleep on that wouldn't soak through my clothes and freeze me solid.

I think most folks, if they dig deep enough, can find points of relatability in it.

Yeah, the story has some relatability in it, and that makes it a good one.

It's also fully told with broad, short strokes so that the tale is told without wearing out or overburdening the reader. Not everyone can write like that - me, for instance. I can't do it.
